Late to the game -- but our public school quite willingly opens it doors for tours. It's competing for kids who can afford private school, or who can apply to charters. I think its weird to not even get inside a school and talk to some people before you send your kids there.
Thanks for this. I don't think it is unreasonable to want to see the place my kid is going to be spending 8 hours a day away from me. I am okay if others think it is, but I don't.
I do understand this but public schools are different than private. We didn't get a private tour of DD's school. I went to kindergarten orientation to see it first hand although she was starting 1st grade.
And that's fine. But, private tours are commonplace in our district. Except at this particular school.
